    Try pixmania and signup and go thru topcashback or quidco, both sites give a further 5.5% of.

    Do not use Pixmania they are a French company with terrible reputation, Google them and have a read of threads on these forums to see the problems people have with them.

    Pixmania are owned by Dixons, as are Currys and PCWorld. If you buy through Pixmania, then all the TVs with £19.90 or £19.99 delivery costs are actually delivered by Currys, and support is provided by the Tech Guys (another Dixons-owned company), so there should be no problem. If the delivery costs are much higher e.g. £84 then I suspect that these come from France, and you may have problems returning it in case of faults.

    That says it all. :p

    I had a problem with a faulty Logitech webcam they supplied it took me three months and numerous emails before the would even admit I had returned it even though it was was sent recorded delivery and they had signed for it, then another two months and more emails before they finally sent a refund.

    As I posted just read the numerous threads and complaints about them, I would never order from them again or ever recommend them to anyone.

    I got a camera from Pixmania and the instructions came in french - LOL. They wouldnt send me a new handbook, in the end I had to buy an english one from Fuji.

    Back to the OPs question - have a look at John Lewis, get free 5 years guarantee. Oh just seen you want FULL HD, dont think that budget will do that.

    Full HD on a 32 in TV is a complete waste of money, HD Ready will be fine and you would not be able to tell the difference.
    If you are going larger than 32 in then you might consider it-but not at your budget.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I've bought several things thru them in the past and have never had a problem, delivery has also always been very fast, that said i'm sure every single net shop has had problems along the way, after all we are all human.

  • Anybody who decides to purchase anything from pixmania should ask themselves one question why would a British company DSG International i.e. Dixons PC world purchase a company outside the uk Photovista who own pixmania ‘and I believe to date they own 77% of that company if not only to evade uk laws concerning consumer rights If they had honest intentions why not just grow their own business rather than purchase a company with no uk head office who you can complain to and when you do complain to the head office in France you find them less than helpful with all the talk of dodgy internet companies being closed down by trading standards
    It seems that DSG I are just allowed to get on with it

    Pixmania are ok as long as you never need after sales service because the fact is that is one thing they do not supply
